I don't think your statement is entirely accurate about engine weight. Turbo engines generally weigh more than NA engines. Now turbo engines mainly give you more HP per liter. So you can decrease displacement and keep the HP the same, and they will give decent MPG when off-boost. But adding the turbo will add weight and complexity to any engine and the equivalent displacement NA should weigh less.
